Rekonstrukcija fasade Kneževega dvora v Dubrovniku v času prenove Onofria di Giordano della Cava
Novak Klemenčič, Renata
Following a devastating fire of 1435, some parts of the Rector's Palace in Dubrovnik had to be built anew. The con- struction of the western wing was begun at the end of the 1430s. Neapolitan ...engineer Onofrio di Giordano della Cava was in charge of this important endeavour and the sculptor Pietro di Martino da Milano is documented as his important collaborator. At the time of Filippo Diversi's description of Dubrovnik (1440) the western façade has already been at least partly fi nished, since the entrance hall (loggia) with six arcades and fi gurative capitals is already mentioned. The work on the decorations of the upper floor of the façade is mentioned in the first half of the 1440s, when two single arched windows ("fenestre serachine") and two mullioned windows, one three- and one four-light, were com- missioned. Following the analysis of the descriptions of the architectural sculpture in archival documents (National Archives in Dubrovnik: series Diversa notariae and Diversa cancellariae) as well as of the comparative material in the Adriatic area, it is possible to reconstruct the organization of windows on the first floor of the west façade of the Rector's Palace: both monumental single arched windows and the four-light window between them were placed in the central part of the west façade while the three-light window was on its northern part, built into the north-west tower ("tore de Campana") of the palace. From the measurements of single architectural elements mentioned in the archival sources we can also conclude that the upper fl oor as constructed in 1440s was much higher than today, probably as high as the ground floor. Therefore, it must have been rebuilt later, most likely already after the explosion of gunpowder in 1460s. Besides that, in comparison to today, the distribution of openings and decoration was at that time much closer to the contemporary Venetian palaces. Since it overlooks the main city square, this important part of the Rector's Palace has always played an important role in shaping the architectural and iconographic image of the city.
